by Customer A1U3TRPOOK4E37 at January 03rd, 2008
i love amy butler, but this book somewhat let me down. there are some confusing instructions and some projects are very similar to other projects in the book. out of all my sewing books this is the one that i haven't been interested in or able to complete any of the projects.
